Rosemary's Blessing: 

Gracious God, slow my pace and soften My Heart this Christmas. 

Keep me from rushing through the Season, but losing the Way . . .

from decorating the Tree, but missing the Light . . .

from wrapping the Gifts, but missing the Gift.

May you be blessed with the gift of humility

Rosemary's Blessing: 

Slow me down, Lord; I am going too fast,

I can’t see my brother as he goes past;

I miss a lot of good things day by day,

I don’t know blessings when they come my way.

Slow me down, Lord so I can see

More of the things that are good for me;

A little less of me, a mile more of you,

Let Heavenly atmosphere trickle thru,

Let me help a brother when the going’s rough,

When folks work together, things aren’t so tough;

Slow me down, Lord; so that I can talk

With more of your angels … slow me down to a walk.
